looked around and realized i was the only woman in the room and i looked at assembled scientists and energy experts and remember thinking, you know, i bet i'm the only person in this room who regularly uses a washing machine. we're talking about front loading versus side loading and i read in the consumer reports the new regulations screwed up washing machines, i tried, i'm sorry. but i do think women bring that practical perspective to the policy debate. they asked me to talk about how i got here and got involved. i have to tell you, thinking back driving into campus, it started here and growing up i never dreamed i would one day work at the white house. i wanted to be an olympic swimmer but had more heart than talent and that didn't work out. when i came to s.m.u., i knew i was really good at two things, arguing and asking a lot of questions. and i used to drive people crazy because i asked so many questions. teachers used to complain to my parents i asked too many questions and my mother thought certain i would become a lawyer. here at 1. m.u. -- here at s.m.u., my curiosity led me to en

so there was some bipartisan energy in the room. not the moist boisterous or most alive speech i've seen the president give in person, but it had some key moments. >> isn't it terrible, mike barnicle, you know, using politics and policy as sport. we always talk about people standing up and not -- john boehner didn't stand up for the 102-year-old woman. he didn't stand up for the line, "they deserve a vote." he's in the position, i guess, where that's what he has to do as leader of the party. but it's just -- and democrats look silly when they sit down when the president says something that's so obviously unifying. >> it looks like a day-care class. >> behind the president, applaud when he comes in, and then we're going to sit down because it just makes us look silly. >> they look like children in a day-care class. they hop up and applaud, and they'll sit and sit on their hands depending on party affiliation. one of the points in his speech where i think he really scored among people standing in line to get cups of coffee and put gas

china as a main culprit in online spying directed at companies with ties to military technology, but energy, finance, and other industries have also been hacked over the past five years. senior correspondent john miller is a former fbi assistant director. john, good morning. how widespread? >> this is pretty widespread, charlie. when you take an nie, national intelligence estimate, this is really the consensus of all 16 intelligence agencies on a problem, so this is going to be a fairly authoritative document that's sounding the alarm that china -- well, picture this. two giant aircraft hangars full of military people who work 24/7 hacking into u.s. government databases, private corporation databases. >> you mean those are chinese hackers doing that. >> yes, yes. and they're working for the government. these aren't guys doing it for entertaining. here's the difference. we do that too. all countries do that. the difference -- i think the alarm the report sounds is china does it not just for political and military secrets, they're stealing trade secrets to get china ahead. >>> obviously the b

and he thinks it's not worth his energy. what's different here is you put the house and senate in different categories. it is almost impossible to work with house republicans. i don't think there's a deal to be had on much issues with them. you think about the senate and rubio on immigration or portman on budget issues or kirk even on gun issues, there are republicans who want to get things done in the senate i do think if the president either did build now or had built a relationship with, it would make it a lot easier for him to get something out of the senate that would isolate house republicans. strategically, it would be in his interest to have some of those relationships. they don't exist and there's a level of it's awkward now because we haven't talked four or five years. why would we start now? you get to moments like this, makes it harder to get deals he wants to get done particularly on guns and immigration. >> what's so fascinating about the president. i know you spent one-on-one time with him, as have we. he's a
